I’m being joe-jobbed, otherwise known as “sporgery”, wherein some bastard has filled my email address in as a reply-to on about a godzillion spam messages that have gone out.
To be clear, I’m not sending any of these messages, and they’re not coming from my server, and I have no control over these spam messages.
(In a real-world analogy, it’s like a guy in Milwaukee is writing my Vancouver return address on a postcard and then mailing it. The returned mail comes to me because that’s the way the system is set up, not because it came from my city.)
Sorry to all the folks who are getting sporged on. And no, I can’t make it stop.
Here’s more on Joe Jobs:
